Doja Cat

Born and raised in L.A., Doja Cat made her first upload to Soundcloud in 2013 at just 16. She developed a knack for music by studying piano and dance as a kid and listening to the likes of Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and more. Soon, she went from obsessing over Catwoman to “crate digging” on YouTube and learning Logic and composition on a midi controller.

Signed to RCA during 2014, she unveiled her acclaimed Purrr! EP. Its lead single “So High” impressively racked up over 30 million cumulative streams and garnered praise from tastemakers such as Fader, Vibe, Paper and Pigeons & Planes. Averaging nearly half-a-million monthly listeners on Spotify, she further engaged that growing fan base by touring with Lizzo, Father and Theophilus London. Along the way, she assembled what would become her debut album, Amala.

Asserting a feline-esque dominance and a style that can only be described as every colour in a box of crayons, Doja Cat’s unapologetic charisma, charm, and confidence take centre stage. With co-signs from Chance The Rapper, Katy Perry, Chris Brown and J.Cole, 2018’s hit “Mooo!” propelled her forward, adding many fans to her already feverishly loyal fan base.

Octavian

Winner of BBC Sound 2019, French-born, south-east London-raised rapper Octavian announced himself to the wider world with the release of his first official single, 'Party Here' in December 2017.
